#273 – The Threat of A.I., Building in Public vs Transparency, and Code vs No-Code with KP

What's up, dude? How's it going? What's going on, man? Question for you. Do you think that all this new AI stuff represents any sort of risk to the job that you do, that you and I do? Not just podcasting, but, like, running indie hackers as a community. No. I don't think so. I am very optimistic about, like, AI, the new wave of AI, and basically any technology as long as I maintain, like, a relationship with that technology where I'm like, how can I use this? Like, I'm totally fine making myself redundant in any job. It's like, as long as I'm really proactive about it, I currently don't have a lot of concern, but maybe I'm just not I'm too shortsighted.
